Three of Twitter's top execs are leaving the company, Recode's Kurt Wagner and Kara Swisher reported on Sunday, along with Mike Isaac of The New York Times.

Twitter's product head Kevin Weil and media head Katie Jacobs Stanton are both leaving the San Francisco startup, according to the report, which cites "sources close to the situation."

Weil, who had been at Twitter for 6 years, first joined the company in 2009 as an engineering lead before working his way up to senior vice president of product. Stanton joined Twitter following jobs with Google and Yahoo, and served on President Barack Obama's social media team during the first part of his presidency.

According to Recode, neither Weil nor Stanton have secured new jobs yet, and Twitter will temporarily fill their roles while hunting for replacements.

Twitter will reportedly announce the departures on Monday, in addition to a new hire who is a "well-known exec" and "prominent CMO."
